100mls water
4 tsp vanilla extract
20 drops Monk Fruit Concentrate
2 tablespoons Gelatin

1 Tablespoon Gelatin
2 Tablespoons water

Method
Bottom Layer Method:

• Place 1/3 cup water into a small saucepan and sprinkle on 2 TB gelatin. Leave for 5 minutes to bloom and thicken
• Empty coconut milk into a measuring jug and top up with 100mls water (so you have 500mls total liquid)
• Add vanilla extract and monk fruit concentrate
• Go back to the water/gelatin mix on the stove. Heat gently until hot but not boiling. Stir well until dissolved
• Pour the water/gelatin mix into the measuring jug with the coconut milk
• Grease a large glass pyrex dish or a baking tray and pour in your mixture. Place in fridge for 2 hours until set

After 90 minutes, start preparing the top layer

• Place 1/4 cup water into a small saucepan and sprinkle on 2 TB gelatin. Leave for 5 minutes to bloom and thicken
• Measure 180g raspberries into a saucepan. Add 1/3 cup water and Monk Fruit vanilla
• Heat gently and stir until the raspberries are broken up and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
• Pour raspberry mix into a blender and blitz until smooth, then pour back into the saucepan.
• Add the gelatin and stir until dissolved.
• Allow to cool down until it’s just warm to touch (you can speed this up by putting the raspberry mix into a bowl in the fridge for 15 minutes. Otherwise, just wait until it cools on the stove)
• Spread raspberry mix over the top of the bottom coconut layer and place back in the fridge to set.
• Cut into squares and enjoy as a nourishing snack!
